Steve scoffed. "Ultron." He muttered bitterly.
"He's been in everything, files, surveillance; probably knows more about us than we know about each other." Natasha told the group gathered, searching what he had access to. Which was pretty much everything.
"He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" James Rhodes - known as Rhodey - asked.
"Nuclear codes." Maria Hill summed up, realising what the man was hinting at.
"Nuclear codes." He confirmed her theory. "Look, we need to make some calls. Assuming we still can." Rhodey claimed, and they all agreed in some way, knowing the man was right.
"Nukes?" Natasha disagreed. "He said he wanted us dead."
"He didn't say dead, he said extinct." Steve corrected, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.
"He also said he killed somebody." Clint reminded, just as Helen Cho placed a bandage over the ginger's cleaned wound.
"But there wasn't anybody else in the building." Maria stated, though it sounded like more of a question.
"Yes there was." Tony interrupted the conversation, making a 3D image of JARVIS' conscious appear, though it appeared destroyed, ripped apart mercilessly.
"This is insane." Bruce breathed, his eyes wide.
"JARVIS was the first line of defence, he would've shut Ultron down. It makes sense." Steve reasoned, voicing his thoughts.
"No... Ultron could've assimilated JARVIS. This isn't strategy. This is..." he paused, letting out a short breath. "Rage." He was familiar with the feeling, due to the Other Guy.
Soon enough, Thor stormed in, anger rolling off of him in waves. He grabbed Tony by the neck and lifted him up, the genius' face already turning red. Five jumped up, eyes wide as she pulled in Thor's cape.
"Woah! Woah— it's going around." Clint explained, trying to ease the god.
"Come on," Tony choked out. "Use your words, buddy." Thor huffed as he let the man go.
"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark." The god grumbled.
"Thor!" Steve brought the attention back to him. "The Legionnaire?"
"The trail went cold about a hundred miles out, but it's headed north, and it has the sceptre. So now, re have to retrieve it. Again." Thor explained, his annoyance and anger increasing as he furthered his information.
"The genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron." The Romanoff said.
"I don't understand," Helen Cho informed. "You built this programme, why is it trying to kill us?" By the end of her question, Tony starts laughing. It was like somebody had said a joke, but they hadn't.
